217x305mm (A4) Plain Lip Compostable Bag

Pack of 100 or 1000 Compostable bags 217x305mm (A4), with hot foiled flap 'this bag is made in the UK from compostable EN13432 film'

At last a 'Green' clear display bag for putting your finished cards and prints etc. into for resale.

These bags are made in the UK from film that has been accredited to OK biobased and DIN EN 13432. They are made from annually renewable PLA derived from vegetable starches (potato, sugar beet etc.)and are fully Biodegradable - avoiding excessive heat, moisture and light will maximise shelf life. (If a bag is splashed with water they don't start to degrade immediately. If wiped off straight away they should come to no harm.)

BIODEGRADATION INFO:
All our PLA biofilm (and cellulose) bags are fully biodegradable and compostable which means that they break down to CO2, H2O and biomass which can then be reused in the eco system to make new plants. This will happen in either in home or commercial composting but in commercial composting the temperature will be higher and the process is much quicker. In a colder home composter it will just take longer.

These bags are primarily intended for greetings card and prints but we do not guarantee the suitability of these products for any specific purpose.

COMPOSTABLE FILM - CARE & HANDLING:
PLA is a natural product designed to compost at end of use. However, it is not an exact like for like replacement for Polyprop or PVC. It has different properties in use, and although it has a similar appearance, it is not as forgiving of rough treatment as the petro-chemical bags it replaces. Therefore, to get the best from compostable bags we recommend that they should be kept away from high temperatures and humidity, which along with careful handling and the correct storage will avoid damage to its appearance and maximise shelf life.
